Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections among children in an emergency department in Madrid, Spain.
Clinical Microbiology and Infection 2010 January
Fifty-three children who attended the emergency department with community-associated (CA) Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) were enrolled in the study. Seven cases of infection (13.2%) were due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Twelve of 46 available isolates (26.1%) were Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive. PVL-positive S. aureus SSTIs were more frequently associated with abscesses and cellulitis (75% vs. 38%, p 0.028), and more commonly required incision and drainage (75% vs. 21%, p 0.001). Most PVL-positive CA-MRSA isolates belonged to a single multilocus sequence type (ST8). In contrast, PVL-positive methicillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates belonged to four different sequence types (ST8, ST30, ST80, ST120).
